Overall Satisfaction with JAMS

We use JAMS to automate data transfers, quality checks and loading raw data from multiple sources into our data warehouse. JAMS allows us to automate this entire process, which uses multiple programming languages and statistical programs. We work with about 50 different data providers using different transfer processes, and JAMS lets us be compatible with all of these.
  • Automate workflows across languages
  • folder watches
  • UI could be improved
  • History search function could be more user-friendly
  • Greatly reduced manual processes
  • We can set up data transfers quicker
We mostly use JAMS for a smaller department and haven't had the chance to try to expand it yet
We did an in-person training, which was helpful and informative. The customer support reps are responsive and helpful. I do wish there was more documentation, or user forums and resources to try to research issues.
